Phone Scams

'Tis the season for telephone scams.

The OPP in Kenora say they have received numerous complaints from local residents in recent days.

Police say the scams include callers claiming to be relatives involved in a motor vehicle accident and needing funds to get home.

In another scam, the caller says they represent an estate and they require a fee to release the funds.

If you have any concerns about the identity of a caller, you are encouraged to
contact the OPP or Phonebusters.
